EDWARD BAKER, OF PARIS, TEXAS.

HYDROCARBON-STOVE.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, EDWARD B. BAKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Paris, in the county of Lamar and State of Texas, have invented a new and useful Hydrocarbon-Stove, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to heating stoves of that type utilizing liquid fuel, one of the objects of the invention being to provide a compact burner and means cooperating therewith whereby irons, such as those used by tailors, can be supported above and close to the burner, there being a hood cooperating with the burner for confining the heat close to the iron.

lVith the foregoing and other objects in view, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of invention herein disclosed can be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention has been shown.

In said drawings :-Figure 1 is a perspective view of a two burner stove, one of the hoods being removed. Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal section through one of the burners and the adjacent portion of the stove base. Fig. 3 is am'ertical transverse section through the complete stove. Fig. 4; is a side elevation, on a reduced scale, of one of the hoods.

Referring to the figures by characters of reference 1 designates the base of the stove, the same being mounted on suitable legs 2 and having elongated recesses 3 in the upper face thereof, one of these recesses being provided for each burner used in connection with the stove. These recesses are provided for holding fuel, 'said recesses extending practically throughout the entire length of the burner used in connection with the structure. Upstanding standards a are formed on or secured to the base and are arranged along the side edges of the recesses, these standards being designed to support an iron in the manner hereinafter set forth. Lugs 5 are formed on the base close to the ends of the recesses, these lugs being arranged in pairs, and designed to support, between them, tubular burners 6. Each Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 606,597.

burner is closed at one end, and has an ear 7 extending therefrom, designed to be secured to the adjacent lug'S-on the base and additional ears 9 extend laterally from the other end port-ion of the burner and are adapted to be secured upon the lugs 5. Each burner is arranged above the center of the adjacent recess 3 and has transversely extending slots 10 in the upper portion thereof and through which fuel is adapted to be discharged. The two burners are connected, at one end, by a connecting pipe 11 and a valve 12 of any preferred construction is employed for controlling the flow of fuel from this pipe 11 to each burner 6. A supply pipe 13, is arranged between the burners 6 and bears upon suitable supporting lugs 14 formed upon the base 1, this pipe opening, at one end, into the pipe 11, and, at its other end, being connected to a suitable reservoir not shown.

Recesses 15 are formed in the side portions of the top of the base and are adapted to receive lugs 16 extending downwardly from the sides of hoods 17. One of these hoods is provided for each burner and each hood is sufficiently large to extend entirely over the burner and throughout the length thereof. Each hood has an arch 18 formed by the lower portion of each end thereof, said arches permitting the ends to bridge over the adjacent portions of the burners 6. One end of each hood is closed while the other end has an opening 19 in the upper portion thereof and sufliciently large to receive the body of a heating iron. A longitudinal slot 20 is formed in the top of the hood and opens into said end opening 19, this slot being sufficiently large to receive the handle portion of the iron.

In using the stove, fuel is admitted to one or more of the burners by opening the valve or valves 12 and this fuel is ignited as it emerges through the slots 10. The heat will be confined to a considerable extent within the hoods extending over the burners, and, when it is desired to heat an iron, the body portion of the iron is inserted through the opening 19 in one end of the hood and until said body is brought above the supporting standards 1. The body of the iron is then permitted to rest on the upper ends of the standards, the handle of the iron being thus supported above the slot 20 and outside of the hood, Where it can be readily grasped. In Fig. 3 an iron has been shown at 21, in

position upon the standard adjacent one of the burners.

It will be apparent that the various parts of the stove can be readily taken apart for the purpose of cleaning and repairing them.

What is claimed is A stove including a base having a longitudinal recess in the upper face thereof and constituting a fuel holder, there being recesses in the top of the base and at the sides of the longitudinal recess, and iron supporting devices integral. with the base and adjacent the sides of the longitudinal recess, a burner secured at its ends upon the base and bridging the longitudinal recess in the direction of the length thereof, said burner being detachable, a hood reniovably lnounted on the base and bridging the burner and longitudinal recess, said hood having an iron receiving opening at one end and a handle receiving slot in its top extending from said opening, there being downwardly extending projections on the sides of the hood and adapted to be seated in the side recesses, the iron supporting devices projecting upwardly into the hood at opposite sides of the handle receiving slot, said longitudinal recess being located entirely within and extending throughout the length of the hood.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto afiixed my signa ture in the presence of two witnesses.
